Nnena couldn’t sleep, she has been having sleepless nights since she got into the family of Mrs. Chioma, she was also thinking about her ghosts’ parent. She was sobbing incessantly. “This world is full of scorn, contempt and disdain for the poor, we are regarded as nothing but ragtag, riffraff, trash and scum. We are not entitled to just a little respect. God, I hope you could see me through.” Nnena was thinking and sobbing at the same time, just then Mrs. Chioma barged into her room.
“You are not sleeping? You are going to your meeting right?” Mrs. Chioma lashed at Nnena.
“Ma, I don’t understand what you are saying.” Nnena replied with a shaky voice.
“You won’t understand! You want to go and plan the next strategy to kill Chiamaka right?” Mrs. Chioma explained.
“Ma…” Nnena drawled with a beseeching expression.
“Let me tell you what you don’t understand; you are a slave and you remain a slave here, I wish to do you good but you repaid my good deeds as misdeed, maybe because you are sleeping inside Air Condition (AC) that is why you think you have reach your destination but hell no, I will make you regret been born into this world.” Mrs. Chioma nasalized.
“Ma…” Nnena tried to hold up a defense but Mrs chioma was quick to Interject.
“Shut up, am talking and you are also talking, what guts! Now stand up and follow me.” Mrs. Chioma commanded.

It was the harmattan season in the early November, everywhere was as cold as a snow, and the breeze was more than cool but iced. Nnena had no option than to sleep outside. She wept bitterly, she recalled all the nice and pleasurable time she had with her lovely parents, she recalled how this trauma started, and she was weeping bitterly when she had her name called.
“Nnena.” Lo and behold it was the gateman who has been watching the scene between Mrs. Chioma and Nnena. The gateman approached Nnena and tried to help her up.
“Sorry, I understand how you feel but don’t worry all is well.” The gateman uttered pitifully.
“Thank you sir.” Nnena appreciate respectfully.
“Why don’t you manage with me inside my cubicle at least that will be better than sleeping inside this harsh weather.” The gateman said kindly.
Nnena bluntly refuse to sleep inside the gateman cubicle, she thought that anything could happen, she has had different tales and stories about girls being raped by men who pledged to help them from her grandmother, she feared she could also be a victim of rape, many ungodly thoughts ran into her mind. The gateman was a young man in his early 20s, he is the comedian of the house, but he is naturally nice and sometimes serious.

“Nnena!” Mrs. Chioma was screaming and yelling her name throughout the building, she has searched the field where she commanded Nnena to sleep, but she couldn’t hear any responds from anyone. She searched all the rooms in the house but she couldn’t find anyone that took after Nnena in appearance. She regrets sending Nnena out to sleep on the field.

(MRS. CHIOMA RESIDENT)
(CONTINUES FROM THE LAST EPISODE)
********
“Nnena!” Mrs. Chioma screamed on sighting Nnena coming out with the gateman from the gateman’s cubicle.
********
Nnena couldn’t believes her eyes, she couldn’t believe Mrs. Chioma caught her coming out from the gateman’s cubicle, she was shocked and dumbfounded, she wish the land could just open up and swallow her, but the land refuse to pave way for her. Her minds has fast forward with many thoughts; she knew that she has definitely meet her doom, she knew that if she was not dismiss that means she will be living in hell, she equally thought about how she was going to survive if she was dismissed, she imagined walking on the street bare-footed, looking tattered and mal-nutritious, she thought about the innocent gateman whose job is now at stake, she regrets accepting to sleep inside the gateman’s cubicle. She was totally heart-rending.
“Nnena!” Mrs. Chioma recalled her name in disbelieve.
“Ewo! Chineke! So you are a whore, I mean a harlot! At your age you have already became a prostitute. God! Where are we going to in this world? Please how old are you?” Mrs. Chioma asked totally baffled.
“I can explain Ma….” Nnena try to rebuttal but Mrs. Chioma interjects.
“I said how old are you? Are you deaf?” Mrs. Chioma asked shouting.
“fo…u..rte…en ye…ars old ma.” Nnena replied stammering.
“Jesus Christ! Fourteen years old and you have become a call girl. Ah! Nnena I will skin you alive today, you will regret been born into this world, now go inside am coming to meet you” Mrs. Chioma uttered bitterly at the same time commands Nnena.
Mrs. Chioma face the gateman who was looking the ground, he felt guilty for the punishment the innocent girl would receive from Mrs. Chioma, he blamed the spirit that forced him to persuade Nnena to sleep inside his cubicle, he knew his apex punishment can’t exceed been sack by Mrs. Chioma, but he don’t care, he was totally baffled by Nnena’s misfortune.
“Hope you enjoy her service?” Mrs. Chioma asked as she approached the gateman, she wore a very wicked face; her eyes were as red like a burning fire, she meant no good for the gateman because the expression shows from her face.
“Ma, I just try to help her from this harsh harmattan weather, when I saw that you ask her to sleep outside yesterday night, nothing more and nothing happen between us inside the cubicle.” The gateman tried to put off the allegations Mrs. Chioma accused him of.
“Will you shut that gutter you call a mouth, you think I will sack you? So that is why you have the courage to talk to me in such manner, you have already decide your fate whereas I, your decider haven’t proclaim your fate (laughing), I won’t sack you, you must be useful some other time” Mrs. Chioma replied as she head for the building.
.
“The gateman was quiet happy but at the same time mixed-up “I won’t sack you, you must be useful some other time” the statement re-echoed in his ear, he knew Mrs. Chioma meant no good for Nnena “but what good would I be to Mrs. Chioma, if not to accompany her and her wicked and bad doers” The gateman said in a very low tone. “Well I pray I won’t fall a victim” He concludes as he opts for his cubicle.
.
(INSIDE THE BUILDING)
“Please ma, I didn’t do it, the gateman only offered to help me which I later accepted after much persuasion by the gateman” Nnena uttered bitterly as she feels a hot iron placed on her cheeks.
“Aaaaggrrrhhh!” Nnena groaned in pains.
“After persuasions that he will change your life for better? That he will free you from the bondage of slavery? That he will be paying you for the night service you are rendering to him? That he will make you his wife?” Mrs. Chioma Isolated.
“No ma…”

“But that is what he just told me outside.” Mrs. Chioma lied.
“Ehn!” Nnena was shocked by Mrs. Chioma shocking statement she doubt the gateman could said that, she was confused “Did the gateman really say that?” she thought rhetorically.
“Ma…” Nnena was speechless.
“Shut up.” Mrs. Chioma yelled as she brought out a cane and wipe Nnena like never before, Nnena has never been beaten like that before, she thought she could die if Mrs. Chioma continue to beat her like that, she was crying, weeping at the same time screaming for help but all her yelling was to no avail. Chiamaka joined her mother in beating the Innocent Nnena, just then Obinna arrives at the scene.
“Mother!” He screamed will all the energy his body could gather.
“Obinna, you are back?” Mrs. Chioma asked forming nice.
“Mother!” Obinna called in a very low tone as tears flow freely from his eyes through his cheeks.
Naturally, Obinna hate seeing another person been maltreated or punished unlawfully, he knew his mother can’t be beating Nnena for a genuine reason, he knew his mother to be wicked but what can he do? She is his mother and she gave birth to him.
